Ants

Have you ever noticed the large ant mounds that always seem to appear after the rain? The ants are busy rebuilding and relocating their nests. We saw at least 8 large ant hills on our walk today, all of them swarming with activity.

This ant hill didn’t appear to have much going on.

But look at what’s happening in the grass above the mound!

On a different part of the trail, these ants were attacking a beetle.

Ant colonies are fun to watch. Be careful when observing fire ants, though, because they will sting you!
